    Cool how many chain links?

    Trying to figure out how many Links I need. I have an 05 636 with 520 chain. Front sprocket is 14 teeth and rear is 62 teeth. How do I figure this out?

    Re: how many chain links?

    Just buy two full chains and cut off what you don't need.... but then again I'm not 100% sure you actually need two. Might work with just one.

    Just so you know you are one down 19 up. Its 108 links for stock gearing. 15 front 43 rear. If you want to play with that math.

    Just rivit link them together and put the chain on like normal and cut off what you don't need. You can clean the extra and make jewelry. Lol.

    seems like add links for 1/2 the difference from stock, ie 62-49/2 = 7+stock len

    That's kind of what I thought but I'm terrible with math and that seemed small for the size. Idk. I haven't played with large sprockets in forever.

    108+18=126. Order a 130 and cut it to length.
    Thanks, Jim
